Grades 7-8 swimming will build student skills in a variety of strokes and distances, and will focus on developing competitive swimming skills as the gateway to the Spence varsity swim team.

Students will incorporate their skills into the team meet setting and swim different events to build their event versatility and meet experience. Grades 7-8 swimming is NOT a learn-to-swim program. Student-athletes should be able to swim a minimum of 50 yards in at least two strokes. The team practices 2:30 – 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at the Hostos Community College Pool.

Athletes are required to supply their own swimsuits and goggles for practice, they will be provided a towel and a team swim cap, which they are required to wear.

After practice, students are picked up at Spence 91.
